Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing pulled out the five array flags from the ground. The white mist dissipated, revealing Min Huiye's disheveled figure. Although he was uninjured, he had charged left and right in the array, depleting more than half of his mana, appearing exhausted. Seeing the intense bloody scene around him, he was immediately startled.

"Senior, this is… have you killed them all!"

Zhang Yuanjing walked to the center of the array formation area, dug out a two-foot diameter array disk, patted the dirt off it, and said, "There's no choice. If people want to kill me, I can only kill them. Let's leave quickly, the bloody smell here will soon attract powerful demonic beasts."

In fact, when the Dragon Binding Vines tied up Meng Guanghong, Lan Yunruo immediately fled, and he would not chase after her. As for Meng Guanghong, if he was willing to reveal the identity of the 'patron', he might have spared his life. However, Lan Yunruo insisted on saving Meng Guanghong, so he had no choice but to strike a deadly blow.

"Yes, Senior!" Although Min Huiye had seen Zhang Yuanjing take action before, he couldn't judge his strength. However, this time, after being ambushed by his opponents, he killed six Foundation Establishment cultivators, one late-stage and five mid-stage, in just twenty or thirty breaths. His combat power was terrifying, and he showed no mercy. He couldn't help but feel awe and fear.

While Zhang Yuanjing was flying along the mountain path, he examined the storage bags of the Six Heroes of Luto Mountain. These people must have often engaged in cost-free transactions, as they all had some wealth. The most valuable items were, of course, Meng Guanghong's set of flying knives and Lan Yun's water-attribute high-grade spiritual weapon, each with its own characteristics and quite good. Next were the numerous talismans, but apart from a low-grade high-quality Stone Wall Talisman on Meng Guanghong, the remaining twenty or so were all low-grade middle and low-quality spiritual talismans of various types. There were eleven middle-grade spiritual weapons, both offensive and defensive. In addition, there were a large number of Spirit Awakening realm spirit beast materials and tens of thousands of spirit stones.

After traveling hundreds of miles, Zhang Yuanjing stopped his flying sword and looked at a mountain path slanting out to the left, asking, "Huiye, where does this lead to?"

"Reporting to Senior, this road leads to a dangerous place in this section of Yushan Marsh called Half-Step Cliff. It has high cliffs and deep ravines and is home to a demonic beast called the Crown Python, which is immensely powerful, extremely poisonous, and very difficult to kill." Min Huiye carefully answered, looking at Zhang Yuanjing's constantly gloomy face.

"Hehe, have you traveled this road before? You seem very familiar with it!" Zhang Yuanjing asked meaningfully.

"Yes, ten years ago, this junior's master, along with several late-stage Foundation Establishment seniors, took this junior there once." Min Huiye was slightly stunned, then replied.

"Oh, what is the relationship between the Three Mountains, Seven Caves, Two Sects, and Six Factions? Do they often interact?" Zhang Yuanjing asked casually.

"Some are friendly, and some are not. Cultivators from the two major regions often encounter each other in Yushan Marsh. Most of the time, they mind their own business, but fights also happen from time to time." Min Huiye wasn't stupid. Hearing Zhang Yuanjing ask about these things, he knew that he was suspicious of the appearance of that group of rogue cultivators and became even more cautious when speaking.

"Which sects does your sect have good relations with? Are there any cultivation forces in the Two Sects and Six Factions area that you frequently interact with?" Zhang Yuanjing asked expressionlessly, continuing to press.

"Reporting to Senior, our Sky Reaching Cave has a fairly good relationship with the Cloud Water Faction among the Six Factions. We also know some rogue cultivators, but we can't say we interact frequently." Min Huiye pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

Zhang Yuanjing stared at him intently: "Huiye, this ambush was not a temporary impulse by rogue cultivators to kill and steal treasure, but was premeditated. These six people got the news and waited early on the north side of the mountain stream. Hmm, I'm afraid they were waiting there from the moment we entered Yushan Marsh! Do you know who they are?"

Min Huiye's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he immediately asked in a trembling voice, "Senior, are you suspecting this junior of informing them?"

Zhang Yuanjing did not deny it, saying calmly, "This poor Taoist thinks that only you could send such accurate information!"

"Senior, this junior absolutely did not do such a thing! Senior's kindness to this junior is as heavy as a mountain, and this junior would find it difficult to repay even with death. Along the way, this junior has received many gifts and gained a lot. How could I repay kindness with hatred and do such a despicable thing. Moreover, this junior is right next to Senior. Wouldn't doing such a rebellious thing be seeking my own death! Senior…"

Min Huiye quickly denied it. His mind was quick, and he said all the reasons he could think of in one breath, as if he had thought about them in advance. However, in the middle of his speech, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly his face turned as pale as paper, and his eyes revealed deep sorrow.

Zhang Yuanjing stared at him all the time. Seeing him like this, he sneered, "Remembered? Tell me, what exactly is going on!"

Min Huiye was dejected, silent, and hesitated for a long time, with an expression of guilt and regret on his face. He sighed softly and said, "Before leaving, Uncle Deng Yunfei gave me a piece of scale armor, saying that going west to You Earth Mountain was very dangerous and to use it for self-defense. Because time was tight, this junior only used mana to warm it up slightly and had not yet completely refined it. I think there must be a tracking restriction placed on this armor that allows the caster to pinpoint my location!"

He forcefully tore open the black Taoist robe covering his body, revealing a piece of dark and shiny soft armor, which was made from Yan Beast scales. It was indeed a defensive item.

Zhang Yuanjing scanned it inch by inch with his divine sense. Sure enough, he found a very hidden restriction on the lower back of the armor. The method was quite clever. It would be difficult to find its existence without deliberately looking for it.

"The refining technique is also very good. You actually refined a middle-grade defensive item from the materials of the Spirit Awakening early stage! Do you know whose work it is?" Zhang Yuanjing asked.

"It's Seven Stars Cave. Uncle Deng is familiar with Tong Zhigang of the Seven Stars Cave, who is good at refining weapons. It must be his work." Min Huiye took off the scale armor and handed it to Zhang Yuanjing, but Zhang Yuanjing ignored it, just standing with his hands behind his back, staring at him.

Min Huiye didn't know what to do with the scale armor. Holding it in his hand, he felt it was very hot to the touch. If he threw it away, he was afraid it would not be in accordance with Zhang Yuanjing's wishes. For a while, he was at a loss, stiffening there, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Hmm, Seven Stars Cave? Seven Stars Sword?" Zhang Yuanjing smiled contemptuously. "Among the Three Mountains and Seven Caves, which other sects does Sky Reaching Cave have good relations with? Or rather, who else does your Uncle Deng know?"

Min Huiye stammered: "Sky Reaching Cave has always had a closer relationship with Subduing Wave Cave, because this sect, like the Cloud Water Faction, also cultivates water attribute techniques, so there is more communication. As for who Uncle Deng knows, this junior is not very clear, but I have heard that he does have dealings with many rogue cultivators."

"Hmm, what about the Three Mountains?" Zhang Yuanjing asked again.

"The Three Mountains have always suppressed the Seven Caves, so they have always been distant. This junior has not heard of Uncle Deng having any dealings with the Three Mountains cultivators." Min Huiye said this time with great certainty.

Zhang Yuanjing nodded. From Min Huiye's reaction, he was likely being used and kept in the dark himself. However, since the other party dared to plot against him, a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator, they must have their reliance and assurance. At this critical moment, he had to be careful above all else.

So, he took out a pill from his storage bag and said, "This is a Turtle Breath Pill. After you take this pill, I will put you in the spirit beast bag. If the following events prove that you were indeed not involved in Deng Feiyun's plan, I will spare your life. Otherwise, you can only feed the demonic beasts!"

Min Huiye wanted to say something, but seeing Zhang Yuanjing's cold eyes, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​atoning for his sins. He reached out and took the Turtle Breath Pill, took it without hesitation, then placed the scale armor on the ground, and sat cross-legged. After a while, his head tilted, and he fell to the ground, completely silent, as if he were dead.

Zhang Yuanjing took off the storage bag from his waist, waved his hand, and put him into the spirit beast bag. Then he picked up the scale armor on the ground, stepped on the flying sword, and flew towards Seven Step Rock.

After traveling dozens of miles, the terrain on both sides became more and more dangerous, with only a narrow road winding between the mountains. From time to time, there were roars of fierce beasts, and the sounds echoed in the mountains. After another ten miles, a cliff wall stood in front of him, with no way to go, which must be Seven Step Rock.

Zhang Yuanjing raised his divine sense and probed the cliff wall. He saw stone caves everywhere, unfathomable, exuding a strong demonic aura. If there were Crown Pythons, there must be more than one. After thinking about it, he turned back a few miles, found a slightly hidden hillside, used his flying sword to open up a three-zhang square cave, threw the scale armor with the tracking restriction inside, and then set up a simple maze array and breath concealment array to cover the cave.

Afterward, he walked to the bottom of the hillside, turned around to observe the terrain around the cave, thought for a while, and then took out the Anti-Five Elements Locking Yuan Array flags and array disk of the Six Heroes of Luto Mountain, preparing to set up this array outside the cave.

This kind of array device is very simple and does not require building a foundation, so people who do not understand the array can easily use it. Just embed spirit stones in the array disk and place it in the center of the array formation area, then connect it with five array flags to quickly activate the array power and set up the array.

The Six Heroes of Luto Mountain controlled the array flags with five people because they had to set up the array in a changing situation according to the positions of Zhang Yuanjing and Min Huiye. Zhang Yuanjing used the cave as a trap, so he could bury the array flags in advance and make connections. In this way, once someone entered the array, he only needed to activate the array disk to instantly set up the array and trap the person who entered the array.

Considering that there were many enemies chasing from behind, Zhang Yuanjing buried the array flags ten zhang away from the cave, with ten low-grade spirit stones as the base below each, and three middle-grade spirit stones embedded in the array disk to ensure that once the array was activated, a majestic array power would emerge.

According to Meng Guanghong, the fastest person chasing from behind could arrive in an hour. It had been more than half an hour since he killed the Six Heroes of Luto Mountain, and the other party might have already arrived nearby. He hurriedly inspected the array, not noticing any loopholes, and then used the earth escape technique to drill into the ground more than ten zhang deep.

After half a quarter of an hour, he changed his mind. If there was no one in the cave, the other party might suspect it was a trap and might not approach. So, he went up again, entered the cave, sat cross-legged, and at the same time used the breath concealment technique to maintain the scattered aura at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and sometimes high and sometimes low, looking like he was seriously injured.
